EEG5STRITYON OF TOTERS.

One O. the most important amendments
TO the constitution submitted to the PEG
p,e for their ratification or rejection IS
that which authorizes the registration Of
voters in cities Of 10000 inhabitants OF
over, and in counties where it is desired,
This provision has long been felt peCes-
sary IN cities where a "fosting" element
was to be found. Those who live aud la
Dor in 4 city aud by taxes support its mu-
niclpal government ought to have voice
in the conduct aud management of thst
government Every lsboring man has to
pay q high price for the privilege Of
living in city, IN rents and current
expenses, and every property owner
has to pay in taxes and increased
expenses for this privilege, and these
are more Interested than auy others in
the municipal affairs Of the city, They
are stockholders and interested parties
The city corporation is similar to other
corporations, organized for the beneti: Of
is stockholders and TO be conducted by
stockholders uuinduenc5d by the votes Of
osIssiders. 1t is great wrong to leave
these city people open to and unprotected
against the incursions of irresponsible
pomads who flock around the polls from
sls.a..d near = vote q he bosses .laN
di-ect.. Men who have no interest il
towns or cities have been known TO lend
their votes to the suppression of the pop
ular will Of the bona fde electors. Char
acterless, constituencies persons can be
found readily VINO will, for 8 few free
lunches and glasses of whisky, turn their
SURFACES over to the abolute control
of ambitious conspirators who seek not {
the common good but their own self

Suspicion Warrants the Holding of one of
tho Negroes arrested at GreeuviIie.
Special to the Gazltee.
GRgENvHLE, Ten, July 21.-In re-
gard to the matter Of the arrest Of The
two negroes here last Saturday suspected
as being implicated in the horrible
Gainesville tragedy OF the 18th inst,
the officers here claim that further in
vesttgauon has caused TIER suspicious
to grow stronger, at least as to Billy
jenkins, the black negro. The other,
Ward Allen, was amulatto. The LIST named
was released from custody yesterday.
Sheriff Ware Of Gainesville, accompanied
By Sheriff S. G. Mason Ct this county, left
on this mornings $3.50 tcsin with Billy
jenkins for that city. The officers here
seem to feel confident that this negro is
implicated in the killing Of Miss Watkins.
This belief IS based upon statements
made by him TO the sheriff, also 10 the
father Of the deceased young lady, who
was here since his arTest Developments
are anziousIy awaited.

EKTPENES NEET.

The intellectual center Of the universe
and repository Of beans has just been
startled by the discovery that the specta-
cleo yoang ladies' Of the highest grade q
society were suffering from q craze which
brought the cbarmers in close proX nifty
TO the DsrDarians of the CaDnibal Islands
The facts we're brought to light By the in
discreet exhibition Of photographs OF The
Young ladies among friends and acquaint-
ances. TWAS discovered that the modern
preference for the nude in art had seized
the fair and famous young Bostonians,
and that they were carrying it to an tx
cess never reached by the sculptors and
painters. Tie young ladies had them
selves photographed il various wsys, Is
nympbs and mermsids, or attitudiniza d Is
Greek goddesses. Several OF the pictures
represented ladies Of the most aTtsto-
cratic families, srrayed in pure and
simple innocence. Two OF the artists
VINO mad been driving ? splendid
trade we're arrested and viii be tried on
charges Of printing indecen. pictures.
WHAT'S the strangest feature Of the case
is the fsct that the young ladies' them
selves ar highly indignant at the idea
entertained by vulgar public tha. they
are guilty. ofany Im9-ujence or breach
of m0destY whatever. To the pure all
things are pure and to the pure minded
tie nude in art and nature cannot be
repulslve or immodest This may be
true from an uItra-rsthetc standpoint,
au. 10 Texans who have Witnessed the
laIr daughters Of the plains arrayed in 8
necklace and 8 pair Of government socks,
twill appear that the dainty and cult
ure5 Bostoaisas are not far removed,
IN primitive simplicity, from their savage
sisters Of the western wiIds, lis q case
where extremes meet.

matter calmly and consider it wisely. A
party in majority cannot afford to take
the risks that minority party may safely
venture on,snd the wisdom Of the Calves
ton convention and Twentieth Legisla-
ture in defining non-interference es the
path of safety should commend itself to
sll who resd the handwriting on the wall
and VINO love Democracy better than any
mere form OF police regulation. Such
questions should be settled by Gispas-
sionste consideration, for if they are
treated with political cunning end ap-
peal5 TO prejudice and ignorance they
wiIl return 10 plague those who could no:
see beyond the horizon Of present design
and sinister purpose.

carried by the railroads hauling in Car
loads of men to overpower and outnum-
Der popular maiorities. That these same
practices have been resorted to in cleo
tons is matter Of common rumor, and
certainly not impossible. 1t has been
claimed that the railroads have stripped
their lines Of men and he-ded them from
town 10 town in order TO carry their own
points, and this is net improbable or, ct
least, it is not impossible. 1t is therefore
necessary for the protection Of the real
parties in interest that the measure should
be adopted. There Will be no expense
attached and no argument can be used
against the amendment save by those VINO
are i3imicsl to good government and
whose ends are best served by
perpetuating the scandalou5 eZpe-
riences OF the past. For the adop-
ton Of this measure tde friends Of
purity in government, residing in the
cities, must depend largely on the good
people OF the country for assistance.
THE GAZETTE hopes that the rural voters
viii see the justice Of the provision and
vote for it. 1t is simple provision
which requires that those who desire to
vote il an election in cities OF 10000 In
habltants or over shall, before the day Of
election, register their names in order
that tde judges may know on election day
,aat they are bona ode citizens and entitled
toyote. Tie tramp and the romadic bum
mer cannot vote unless registered. Thus
a protection is thrown around the ballot
and The c!t'z rs are shielded from illegal
voting and trickery. When i. is remem-
beTed that great contests and principles
dra often decided and eGunciated by enc
vote, it viii be plainly apparent how
careful people should be aat how jeal-
ou-ly they should guard the ballot bcx
from the pollution oIiuegsl ballots.

some OF them are in Wyoming. There
are about 5000 head in this years

or contracted for by northern purchasers,
leaving only 81, 900 head for the matkst,
snd I think they will ind easy sale.
There have been few head turned into
neutral ground il Indian Territory for

While The GAZETTE can speak OK
cathedrs when expoundIng sound Demo
cratic doctrine, it Gisclsims infall9ility
on legal questions sud refers its CORE
spondent 10 article 1855 Of the Statutes
of Texas which reads: "Eyery male per
son CT foreign birth subject to none Of
the Disqualification aforesaid, VII, al
any time before an election, shsII nave
declared his intention Of becoming 3
citizen Of the United States in accordance
with the federal naturalization laws, and
shall have resided in this state one year
next preceding such election, and the last
six months in the county in which Nc Of
fers TO vote, shall be deemed q qualified
voter" The "disqusliGcations aforesaid"
are /. IDIOTS end lunatlcs All pau
pers supported by the county. g. All
persons convicted Of any felony. g. All
soldiers, marines and seemen employed
in the service OF the army or navy of the
United States. There seems TO be no
doubt but what a foreign born male per
sou who declares rs intentions OF becom
ing 6 citizen, OF who becomes q citizen oy
taking out naturalization papers" has
8 right to vote, provided he is free from
the disqualification above enumerated
and shall have resided in the state and
county the requisite time. The fact tbat
many Of those who 2rs declaring their
to become citizens Of the
United States reside n Dallas, when such
q city as Fort Worm IS only thirty-two
miles distant, would probably be sufficient
20 prevent them from voting under the
first disqualification enumerated, if the
matter were pressed. Ii is at least
prima fscie evidence Of a disqualification
- expressed in exception one.
